Indicators

Measuring the cancer patient experience

A quality cancer control system is one that is centred on caring for the person and not just treating the disease. Here you will find indicators that provide some understanding of the experience of cancer patients, representing another step forward in addressing this under-measured domain. To help further assess the patient experience, future efforts will aim to include more representative indicators on patient-reported outcomes, survivorship, and end-of-life and palliative care.
